From OpenStreetMap (museums, galleries, zoos, theme parks and attractions, castles, forts and abbeys, and historic houses and gardens that are open to visitors) and Wikidata (what each place is, who runs it, its website and visitor counts). A place counts for Omagh when it is inside NISRA’s settlement development limit, and as nearby within 5 km of its edge. Opening times and prices are not shown: check the official site.
